1.0 - Applying RSC settings to a graph
To create a graph that is RSC-compatible, perform the following steps:
- First create your graph, and save it in KaleidaGraph format.
- From the "Plot" menu, select "Set Plot Size...". In the dialogue box that appears, set the "Units:" to "cm", and the "Frame Size:" to "8.30" (or "17.1") (see below). Click "OK".
- From the "Format" menu, select "Text Options...". In the dialogue box that appears, click on "Select All Label Types", then set "Font:" to "Arial", "Times New Roman" or "Helvetica", and "Size:" to "7" (see below). Click "OK". NB: It may be necessary to edit the contents of a caption for the text settings to apply fully.
- From the "Plot" menu, select "Plot Style...". For each line and marker used in the graph, set the "Marker Size:" to "7" and the "Width" to "H" (see below). Click "OK".
- Rearrange your graph or chart so that it fits within and fully uses the width now available. You may need to re-italicise etc. some text in captions.
